Negative Exponent Polynominals

[raeudigerRaeffi]

Is there any way in which it would be possible to initialize a Polynomial with negative exponents? For example x^(-1).

It should be possible to support Laurent polynomials. However, it would likely need to be a new class -- LaurentPoly, perhaps.

May I ask: what do you wish to do with these polynomials? If it's simply polynomial evaluation, that can be accomplished currently.

[raeudigerRaeffi]

I need it for polynomial multiplication and division sadly. I already tried in the case of 1/Poly([1,0]) in order to mimic x^(-1), however, the result was always a Polynomial with coefficients of 0.

I see. I'll leave this marked as a feature request and maybe get around to it in a bit.
